Two most important things I’m always interested in are technology and astronomy because I often wondered how they work in natural physics that has been integrated in our lives. For example, whenever I look up I wonder what’s out there and so many technologies help with exploration. Technology such as computers and other electronics are amazing because I always liked to see how they work together ie taking photos in tiny cameras or in larger cameras.
